Late yesterday afternoon, after a day of heavy rain and wind and storms, the skies finally cleared. Out my kitchen window, I watched the clouds scudding by, still wind-driven, and the glow of sunset through the bare trees. I couldn’t resist. I went outside to take a few shots.
This morning, the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge appeared in my mailbox. The theme? Illumination!
So here’s a photo of a winter sunset, Mississippi style, after a day of turbulent weather.

My favorite colors are the purple and pink clouds/sky near the top of the photos. Lovely!

I’ve heard from folks in the know that the cell phones are as good as (or better than) many of the cameras out there.

I have an older iPhone, and its camera is pretty good. I hear the newer ones are fantastic.

I’ll confess that I took it with my phone, Veronica. It was the handiest thing, and I was afraid this light wouldn’t last long. The photo doesn’t do the sky justice. It was amazing after such a gloomy, stormy day. We have more in store . . . high of 72 today, storms tomorrow with temps dropping all day. Such is Mississippi weather in the winter!
